Colleges and universities use student FAFSA data to determine their federal aid eligibility. It is administered by the U.S.... Full story

  • Column: It's once again time for grilling season

    Jack H. Smith, Three Forks Voice|Apr 17, 2024

    While I was thrilled to pull the cover off the pellet grill a few days ago, I was disgusted for completely overlooking cleaning late last fall. We were in the process of moving, so there was a lot to do, and spending a few minutes tidying up the grill was not high on my list of priorities, although it probably should have been. Once I spent time making a mess of myself, including my face, the front door, and into the kitchen, I was finally ready to cook outside for the first time since October.... Full story
